TOP OF THE DAY by Howard Polskin

Greetings! Fiddling with FIFA: Trump stuck his snout into the World Cup controversy involving U.S.A. soccer star Folarin Balogun and the horrifically bad call against him last week that would have banned him from tonight’s game against Belgium. As a fan of our nation’s soccer team, I’m glad the ruling was overturned by FIFA president Giovanni Vincenzo after a conversation with Trump. But if Team U.S.A wins tonight and its remaining World Cup games, its victories will always be tarnished by Trump’s meddling in the eyes of the world. Memo to Democrats: don’t condemn POTUS's pushy tactics. Your harsh words will be positioned as unpatriotic....Is Melania Trump 2026’s most successful documentary filmmaker? According to Donald Trump’s financial disclosure report unveiled last week, she earned nearly $11 million in licensing fees for her shallow, one-sided documentary “Melania” in which she not only starred, but was executive producer. She also earned more than $500,000 from her 2024 memoir. (Business Insider)...The Wall Street Journal panned the movie “Young Washington” about you-know-who. Liberty Paige of the right-wing outlet SteveGruber.com urges her readers to ignore the critics and see the film...I stayed up late July 4 to watch about 20 minutes of Trump’s rain-delayed speech. Not the speech I would have wanted from my president on the nation's birthday, but not as bad as I feared...The American Conservative questions whether Rep. Thomas Kean (R-NJ) is well enough to resume serving in the U.S. House of Representatives.  He just returned to work after a four-month absence after being treated in a hospital for depression...If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.
